XCR1250 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Europe Has an Oil and Gas Problem It Won't Easily Be Able to Fix Victor Davis Hanson , The National Interest•January 20, 2020 11 Comments Despite its cool Green parties and ambitious wind and solar agendas, Europe remains by far the world’s largest importer of oil and natural gas. Oil output in the North Sea and off the coast of Norway is declining, and the European Union is quietly looking for fossil fuel energy anywhere it can find it. Europe itself is naturally rich in fossil fuels. It likely has more reserves of shale gas than the United States, currently the world’s largest producer of both oil and natural gas. Yet in most European countries, horizontal drilling and fracking to extract gas and oil are either illegal or face so many court challenges and popular protests that they are neither culturally nor economically feasible. The result is that Europe is almost entirely dependent on Russian, Middle Eastern, and African sources of energy. The American-Iranian standoff in the Middle East, coupled with radical drop-offs in Iranian and Venezuelan oil production, has terrified Europe—and for understandable reasons. The European Union has almost no ability to guarantee the delivery of critical oil and gas supplies from the Middle East should Iran close the Strait of Hormuz or harass ships in the Persian Gulf. Europe’s only maritime security is the NATO fleet—a synonym for the U.S. Navy. Vladimir Putin’s Russia supplies an estimated 30% of Europe’s oil needs. In times of crisis, Putin could exercise de facto control over the European economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. They pour concrete on every inch of green space pack in millions of people into apartment high rises, fail to upgrade sewage and drainage systems. Then blame climate change on flooding. Moron sheep live in cities, just the way the fascist left want people to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
